 | steps to designing your web site
In order to develop your web site with The WebService Provider, you are going to want the latest applications availible, free, off of the net. If you are a Windows user (win31, win95, or winNT) check out The Consumate Winsock Apps List. For Macintosh users there aren't very many sites that are as good as CWS Apps. But a good FTP client is Fetch, and NCSA Telnet is a good Mac Telnet Client. As for PC users, we recomend WS FTP and either the Telnet Application that comes with win95 and winNT, or Trumpet Telnet.
| transfering files via ftp |
Every FTP client is different, but the basics are the same. But you should be able to figure out how to use it once you play around with it a bit. Your hostname is wsp1.websp.com - your username, is the username you were assigned when you signed up. And obviously your password is your current password. When you FTP your files you want to either put them in your WWW directory -or- if you have a virtual domain or virtual host, in that directory (you should know it, look in your setup e-mail).
| telnet and what you can do with it |
Telnet is a very powerful tool; if you know how to use it. When you telnet to our server, you are first given a login prompt and then a command prompt -or- if you are an e-mail user you get a menu system. If you get a command prompt, then you have a world of possibilities. A text based browser, lynx, can be accessed from your account. You can check your mail by using pine. Also, you can edit your web site using pico. Like FTP, Telnet is fairly simple. The hostname is either websp.com, or wsp1.websp.com.
| how to implement java and cgi |
This page will not teach you how to program in JAVA or CGI, nor can any other single web site, but this page tells users how to implement code that they've already written into their web sites. JAVA must be compilied using Sun's Java Compiler. To compile, type javac javafile.java - when completed a file javafile.class will appear. Change it to an executable by typing chmod +x javafile.class . When using PERL, change the file to an executable just like you would a JAVA class file, chmod +x perlfile.pl .
